Air Route Calculator - Projected Flight Mapsv1.3.23

Airline dispatchers use the skill to calculate ETOPS-aware diversion routes and visualize them on projected maps before filing flight plans. They input routes like 'JFK-LHR' and validate the MapSpecV1 against regulatory constraints. This replaces manual great-circle calculations with automated multi-path analysis.

Travel agencies generate shareable SVG route maps showing multi-city itineraries with markers and labels for client presentations. The skill handles casual phrasing like 'SFO via HNL to Tokyo' and outputs branded visual documents. Agents deliver polished trip visuals without GIS expertise.

Instructors compare map projections using the projection guide and render sample routes to teach students how projection choice distorts distance and path. Students explore how polar, Mercator, and other projections alter great-circle appearance. The offline MCP setup ensures classroom reliability without internet dependency.

Charter operators calculate range rings around airports like '800nm@DEN' to assess aircraft feasibility and fuel stops for client requests. The skill quickly solves range queries and identifies viable alternates. Operators then render SVG maps to include in charter proposals.

Consultants use airport lookup and runway metadata to analyze connectivity and route networks for regional development studies. The skill supports multi-path MapSpecV1 payloads for scenario comparisons without needing external APIs. Output maps feed into planning reports for stakeholders.

Offer the local Circulus Map bundle as a paid desktop toolkit for airlines, flight schools, and charter operators that need reliable route solving without cloud dependency. Subscribers receive updates to projection data, airport databases, and MapSpecV1 schema. The offline-first design appeals to security-conscious aviation customers.

License the MCP-based route calculation and SVG generation engine to travel platforms, flight-tracking apps, and booking sites as an embeddable rendering layer. Partners integrate via local or hosted MCP worker and build customer-facing route visualizations. Differentiation comes from projection-accurate, ETOPS-aware output.

Bundle the skill with analyst expertise to deliver custom route feasibility studies, network optimization reports, and map-based presentations for airlines, airports, and investors. The skill automates calculation while consultants interpret results and build strategy. High-touch engagements target organizations lacking in-house GIS capacity.
